June 1-18 2011: My trip to Home Sweet Home Lahore and Dream Land of Dubai :)

[aesiege]

I was getting late for the trip to Burj Khalifa's 124th floor so tried to quickly find the way and eventually lost it completely.

Then wasted another 15 min to get back to correct location.

The mini Burj Khalifa while waiting for entry with 7:30 p.m. group

This was the most favourite place of the kids. They were running all over the changing lights trying to catch them with their steps

While browsing your thread; on seeing this; my younger one abruptly asked where is this place? I wanna go there...."now"...and I was....:-#

hehe now that sounds interesting

Your younger one is justified for his wish as all the kids there were enjoying a lot and parents failed to even drag them away

I was travelling so could not update the last part but i will start again tonight inshallah as my Lahore set-up is ready to rock now

The most exciting journey started in a few minutes. They took my bag for some reason and i had to carry my 3 lenses, camera, 4 batteries and tripod in hand.

The first thing is that their professional photographers take a quick snap of every visitor and during the time of your visit, they fix it digitally on a background showing the view from the top and your pic is ready by the time you return. They charge AED100 for the pic only and AED300 for the framed one. Its not compulsory to take it but most people do though its not original

So did i ..... i took the pic only

The way to Burj Khalifa from Dubai Mall starting point goes from the basements and the next few pics will be of different locations on way to the lightning fast lifts of Burj Khalifa.

The moving walkway did the job of carrying me to the other end and i was busy in taking pics of this mysterious corridor depicting the history

It gave a feeling like u were travelling in time.
